I hope everyone is staying safe during this major heatwave, and near-drought conditions. I am thankful for my rain barrels so I can water the herbs and other plants in the yard, and assure the wildlife has water as well. But I believe the seeds I got into the garden late will not germinate. It's how it goes some years. What is established is doing very well. I have had multiple harvests of lemon balm, yarrow, motherwort, comfrey, and anise hyssop, and the blackberries are coming on really strong.

Today I thought I would share HWB International's 2021 Year In Review. It is important for you to know the impact of what the organization does. Some numbers are down over the last couple of years because of the pandemic and in-person events being limited or eliminated. But 2022 looks to be a much better year. The number of chapters is expanding and looks like everyone is off to a great start this first half of the year.
- Value of Volunteer hours across the globe: $718,037
- 304 Clinics
- 9136 People served
- 214 Garden Events
- 1200 Seed packets distributed via the Seed Grant Kis
- Disaster relief to refugee camps in the DRC, California fires, Colorado Fires, flooding and hurricanes in the south, refugee support for those leaving Afghanistan, deep freeze in TX, LA, OK, AL, street medics and community care kits, covid relief, and self-care kits, Covid homeless support, and much more.
- 131 General educational events
- 331 Trauma and other training events (882 people served in Trauma Training)
Here's the direct link to the Year In Review so you can see all the good happening in our communities.
The Louisville Chapter has workshops, garden walks, and our first clinic scheduled. I am excited to watch this small, grassroots initiative make a difference in our community. Donate now to make sure we can keep going. www.hwbglobal.org
Thank you for your support!
